About us
The USO is for the people who serve. Strengthening the well-being of the people serving in America’s military and their families. Since 1941, the USO has strengthened America's military service members by keeping them connected to family, home and country, throughout their service to the nation. From the moment they join, through their assignments and deployments, and as they transition back to their communities, the USO is always by their side. We are the Force Behind the Forces. We currently operate more than 250 USO centers at or near military installations, including in combat zones, MEPS centers, several airports, and even un-staffed USO service sites in places too dangerous for anyone but combat troops to occupy. We serve the American Armed Forces - specifically, U.S. Active, Reserve, and Guard service members and their families through a wide arrange of programs and entertainment. The USO is a congressionally chartered, private organization that relies on the generosity of individuals, organizations and corporations to support its activities, and is powered by a family of over 30,000 volunteers to accomplish our mission. The USO is not part of the federal government.

Wilmer Valderrama is firing on all cylinders — from acting and entrepreneurism to publishing and podcasting. Ahead of his return as Special Agent Nicholas Torres in “NCIS” this fall, Valderrama has launched a new active lifestyle brand for men and women called E.P.U. The name stands for E Pluribus Unum — “out of many, one” in Latin — with a portion of proceeds benefiting the USO, for which he is a global ambassador. The actor says he has always been “fascinated by the people who create fashion” and that his passion for fitness, and its mental strengthening, inspired the unisex line. The launch of E.P.U. follows Valderrama headlining a series of talks at Cannes Lions about his partnership with iHeartMedia and My Cultura, a podcast network dedicated to elevating Latinx voices and stories. Earlier this year, he executive produced Netflix’s three-episode docuseries “Dancing for the Devil: The 7M TikTok Cult,” which quickly entered the streamer’s Top 10 and had nearly nine million views opening week. Next up: A new memoir. “An American Story: Everyone’s Invited,” published by Harper Select, will hit bookshelves on September 17.

“This is the country that gave me the American dream.” Wilmer Valderrama has launched E.P.U. - 'E Pluribus Unum,' an activewear brand with a purpose. "'E Pluribus Unum' meaning 'Out of Many, One,' reflects American unity. When our troops don the uniform, differences in identity fade away, united by their shared mission to serve our nation." A portion of sales of activewear line will support #theUSO. For Valderrama, serving as a USO Global Ambassador and performing on USO tours all around the world is a way to give back to the country that has given so much to him. “Meeting thousands of soldiers and hearing all of their stories … I really got to appreciate the type of individual that it takes to wear that uniform,” Valderrama says. “I was very humbled by the men and women, their bravery, their selflessness, the sacrifice. And that’s the thing that I’ll always remember.” ��The USO has changed everything for me,” Valderrama said. “When I came to the United States with a dream as an immigrant, and I came to really appreciate the American flag and understand that anything can happen when you’re here, that the American dream is real. And I realized very quickly who was responsible for that.” https://lnkd.in/gxpSKfpA
